Have you ever gone to the airport with a vape and wondered if you can bring it? Many people ask this. TSA says yes, you can bring vapes and e-liquid on a plane. But they must be in your carry-on bag or personal item. They cannot go in checked luggage.

**Why follow the rules?**
Vapes use lithium-ion batteries. These batteries can get too hot and catch fire if they are not handled well. Follow TSA rules to keep you and other people safe.

**TSA and FAA rules:**
- **Carry-on only.** Disposable vapes and all devices with lithium batteries must stay with you in the cabin. Never put them in checked bags. No exceptions.
- **Do not use them in the airport or on the plane.** Do not use or charge your vape in the terminal or on the aircraft. Using a vape on a plane is a federal crime.
- **Do not charge during the flight.** Do not use the plane’s USB port or a power bank while flying. Charge only when you are in a building on the ground.
- **Bring only personal amounts.** TSA allows vapes for personal use. Too many may look like you are selling them. They may be taken away. There is no exact ...
... number, but 3 to 7 is safest.
- **Other countries have different rules.** TSA rules are for U.S. security. The country you fly to has its own laws. Some countries ban vaping. Check before you travel.

**How to pack:**
- **Put everything in your carry-on.** Do not put vapes in checked luggage.
- **Use a clear zip bag.** Put disposable vapes in a clear, resealable plastic bag. This makes them easy to see and shows you follow the rules. Keep the bag easy to reach.
- **Put extra batteries in a protective case.** Each spare battery needs a hard plastic case. If you do not have one, put electrical tape over the ends. Never let batteries touch coins, keys, or metal.
- **Take the battery out of refillable devices.** If your device can be taken apart, remove the battery from the tank or coil. This stops it from turning on by accident. For disposable vapes, do not take them apart. Keep them whole in the clear zip bag.
- **Follow liquid rules for e-liquid.** E-liquid must follow the same rules as other liquids. Use small containers that TSA allows.

**What happens if you do not follow the rules?**
If you pack it wrong or put it in checked luggage, TSA may take it and throw it away. You may lose your money. If you leave a vape in checked luggage, it may be flagged and removed. Vaping on a plane is not allowed. It can cause legal trouble.

**Bottom line:**
If you vape, follow the rules when you travel. Pack your vape in your carry-on. Use TSA-approved containers for liquids. Follow airport and airline rules. Be polite and respectful. Buy your vape legally. Then you can travel safely.
